Chapter 128: Attack and Defense of Xiapi County (Medium)

I saw that the ballista carts began to line up in two columns, staggered like a big 'W'.

On the contrary, the trebuchet part is closely lined up in the ballista cart, but it is ready to throw stones. Considering that its effective range is only about 100 meters, there is no intention of launching an attack for the time being.

"Shoot!" Yuan Shu saw that the preparations had been completed, and immediately issued an order.

In the sound of "poof, puff ......", a large number of crossbow arrows suddenly left the string and shot towards the location of the Fang army's troops. This kind of ballista, which has an effective firing distance of up to 300 meters, is actually a very terrifying existence in this era.

Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was indeed about 300 meters, so at the same time as the other side shot arrows, the soldiers on the side of the Fang army began to hide behind the sword and shield soldiers under the command of the officers, on the one hand, to avoid the attack of the crossbow arrows, and on the other hand, to improve the defense of the 'strong wall'.

As the crossbow bolts began to enter the position, most of the arrows were blocked by the shield. The distance between the two sides was still a little far, so that the opponent's crossbow bolts did dent the shield a little, but did not break the defense. After all, this is a shield made of earth-made steel, and in terms of craftsmanship and quality, it can be regarded as a very strong existence in this era.

It can't compare to those divine weapons, but there is no problem in blocking the ballista three hundred meters away.

"Advance!" Yuan Shu saw that the attack had no effect, and immediately signaled for the front line to advance.

Ballista carts begin to replenish their ammunition, and there is often one such ammo player by their side, helping to replenish and reload ammunition, ensuring that the ballista carts can fire continuously at the shortest possible distance.

The army advanced fifty meters, and the distance between the two sides was only about two hundred and fifty meters, and at this distance, without wearing armor, the crossbow bolts could penetrate the bodies of at least ten people. According to the impression of the front-line commander Zhang Xun, this distance should be regarded as the safest attack distance, which can effectively shoot the opponent's soldiers, and the opponent's arrows cannot hurt him.

"Shoot!" But he didn't want to, this time it was not him who gave the order, but Zhang He gave the order to attack.

A large number of crossbow bolts were fired. Fell directly into their positions. The soldiers and ammunition men who operated the ballista carts did not wear iron armor, at most a piece of leather armor. Supposedly, the arrows couldn't hurt them at that distance.

However, the crossbow arrows on Fang Jun's side were so strange, separated by two hundred and fifty meters. He could still shoot them, and not only that, but he also directly penetrated the leather armor and directly took his life. Not only that, but a large number of crossbow bolts also crossed directly over the positions of the ballista trucks. flew directly towards the position of the catapult behind him, and he didn't know how many soldiers he had killed.

This is the sniper crossbow, the black technology that Fang Yun got by lottery. This crossbow is a foot-mounted winding method, and the production process is very complicated, but it is really powerful, and can shoot 500 steps and kill the enemy. It's just that because the process is too complicated, there are probably only more than 500 pairs of this kind of sniper crossbow, and at least these 500 pairs can be allocated to Zhang He.

But five hundred pairs are enough, at least for the first wave of shooting. Already called the enemy's weapons of war lost their operators. The enemy's position was also temporarily thrown into chaos, and for the Fang army, this was an opportunity!

"Attack!" Gao Shun shouted, and the trapped camp immediately rushed towards the enemy position.

At the same time, the strongbowmen immediately took cover with projectiles. At a distance of 250 meters, it is no problem for the strong archers, especially for projectiles, and even the strong archers even use their traditional stunt - rain of arrows!

Each strongbowman shot at least three arrows, and the existing 3,000 strongbowmen shot tens of thousands of arrows in one go!

What's that concept? Anyway, it was like a sudden rain of arrows from the sky. It was the rain of death. If you are accidentally drenched, it will definitely be bloody, and if you are unlucky, you will be summoned directly by Hades.

Even if it's not dead, because the arrow is a Mitsubishi arrow. This kind of wound can't heal well on its own, and even stitches are very difficult. As long as the soldier is injured by this kind of arrow, it is fine if he does not pull out the arrow, and if he pulls it out, he will almost not stop the bleeding, and if he is not good, he will lose too much blood and die. But can it not be pulled? Unless they are not afraid of tetanus!

Under the suppression of arrows, it was impossible for Yuan's army to get close. The suppressed ones wanted to fight back, but their arrows and crossbows couldn't shoot that far. Fortunately, Gao Shun's trapping camp is getting closer and closer, and it has entered the shooting range.

"Shoot them for me!" Yuan Shu is also very hot, looking at these weapons of war that no one can operate them now, it would be strange if there was no fire at all. At this moment, he only thinks about revenge, first of all, those foot soldiers must die!

Crossbow units in the army began to appear, shooting at the soldiers who had fallen into the camp.

To their surprise, and even shock, these soldiers actually directly resisted this wave of shooting with **. It's not that they're invulnerable, it's just that they're wearing iron armor, and they have no sense of defense at all, especially when their faces are covered with masks, and they just ignore those crossbow arrows.

Those armors were indeed terrifying, and they could withstand the fire of crossbow arrows at a distance of more than 200 meters, and they didn't even have a dent.

This is actually Fang Yun's concept of war, considering that in ancient times, because of the long-term war, the society was in turmoil, and there were only few people to mine iron mines and coal mines, let alone make iron and build weapons. Even if there is, you must focus on the soldiers' weapons, armor and so on, but I am afraid that no one will waste precious iron materials to build.

In particular, the productivity in ancient times was very low, and the production process was not qualified, at least in the eyes of his modern people. This kind of weapon, after a maximum of three battles, can almost be scrapped, and when the time comes, it will either be reforged or directly discarded, the more soldiers, the more weapons that need to be replaced, and the pressure on craftsmen is also very huge.

Not to mention, in the late period of the Three Kingdoms, everyone lacked population, but I am afraid that there are not many craftsmen, and it is even more impossible to equip iron armor on a large scale in such a situation.

Under such circumstances, the ancient battles would continue to develop the individual combat ability of the soldiers, as well as the ability of the generals. Maybe Guwu or something was developed on this basis. The difference between the so-called family and ordinary people is mainly manifested in the ancient martial arts in reserve.

Of course, he's actually been here for so long, and he's never seen anything like it. Most of the generals are talented, with the tempering of **, and finally through the perception of martial arts, they naturally entered the congenital. Then it is natural to be able to absorb the aura of heaven and earth for cultivation.

Whether the efficiency is high or not cannot be evaluated, it is certain that after cultivating the "Five Fowl Shaping Body Decision" and the "Taiping Sutra", Fang Yun himself feels that the absorption and transformation efficiency of the aura of heaven and earth is very good, how about others. He didn't know.

However, Dao or Gongfa obviously have qualifications limited, so while studying ancient martial arts, he also focuses on climbing the technology tree. Whether it is the traditional Chinese civilization or the mechanical civilization, as long as it is useful, it can be used. However, the two systems must be distinguished so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to students.

Years of research. The biggest achievement is the emergence of soil steelmaking and the research and development of hydraulic stamping. Through these means, armor similar to plate armor was refined on a large scale, so that most of the soldiers could have iron armor to use.

It is rare that the armor has good defense, but it is very lightweight, and it will not affect the marching speed of the soldiers too much. It is conceivable that in the case of the two armies fighting, Fang Yunjun only relied on this powerful defensive force. It has already occupied a lot of advantages.

As for the soldiers produced by the system of trapping the camp, not to mention, the armor is given by the system, in terms of defense, it is stronger than the armor produced by the standard, plus the soldiers are not afraid of death, and they don't pay attention to the arrows at all.

No, he rushed into the enemy formation, and his hand raised and fell, and the Mo knife directly cut the ballista cart in the front row in half. Considering that Yuan Shu did not have the habit of assembly lines and modular production, these ballistas were obviously scrapped. At least it can't be fixed.

"Block them, block them for me!" Yuan Shu is really angry, really about to explode!

The more than fifty ballista carts and the stone cart behind it, but he spent a lot of effort to build them! I never thought about it. was actually destroyed by the other party directly as soon as he saw his face, if he could swallow this breath, then he would not be Yuan Shu anymore!

In fact, there was no need for him to order, Ji Ling had already taken the headquarters to kill him. Interestingly, the soldiers under his command are not traditional swordsmen or pikemen, but a group of hammermen.

Earlier, he had seen Fang Yun's army. I also have a little impression of this army, and naturally understands their iron-like defense. Because of this, he learned that the spear or the sword could not hurt them at all, at least not effectively, so he selected the soldiers with the greatest strength and compiled this batch of hammer soldiers.

The Hammer Soldier has no armor and holds a hammer with a long handle in his hand. This time, they came out brazenly, and directly greeted the soldiers who were trapped in the camp. It's just that they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp, and they were directly killed by them with a Mo knife at the first glance.

Rao is like this, and the hammer of their follow-up troops still smashed on the bodies of the soldiers in the trapped camp. This thing slammed down, and even if it wasn't killed, the powerful concussion would have to smash the person into internal injuries or concussions. If it were an ordinary soldier, with the standard plate armor stamped out of their bodies, they were afraid that they would be able to smash it in one fell swoop, and even hurt their lives.

I have to say that this kind of hammer soldier has a very strong ability to break defenses, and the only weakness is that the walking speed is not fast, and the defense is relatively low. But the problem is that the other generals are not vegetarians, so they came to support as soon as possible, and with the cooperation of spears and ring-headed knives, they somewhat restrained the soldiers who were trapped in the camp.

After a short time, the two sides separated, and under Gao Shun's orders, the soldiers who had fallen into the camp began to retreat. Their mission has been accomplished, and the enemy's siege weapons have been destroyed, and more than 500 casualties have been paid for it, but fortunately they can still replenish it with money.

As the trapping soldiers dispersed, a second wave of crossbow bolts began to fire.

The defenseless nature of the Iron Hammer Soldiers was exposed, but fortunately, the surrounding soldiers quickly protected each other, and they were finally saved.

"Hmph, call it in!" Seeing that everything was back to its original state, but his weapons of war were destroyed, Yuan Shu also had to retreat temporarily, he had to find another way to solve this army! (To be continued.) )

PS: Mechanical civilization, bear's paw also! Chinese civilization, fish also! Both are boiled in a pot and delicious!
